I'm with Stefan here, from personal experience as a packager and reviewer one 
ACK is almost never enough; I know that I want somebody else reviewing my 
packages (still, there are always things to correct once they hit the 
archive).
If the purpose of this proposal is to reduce the idle time for new packages in 
the REVU queue than I think there are better ways, the best imho would be to 
make it more attractive for devs to actually review new packages.
It takes an awful lot of time to properly review these packages (most often 
than not as much as making them from scratch), and this is not recognised in 
any way.
